Nice start Jason. You should take them out side about once a month and "spritz" them off to keep the bugs at bay. Misting the leaves would probably help too.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Hi Jason,

You're doing a really great job there mate. I bet not many people are growing palms where you are !

Don't worry about how they look now, Spring will be there soon, and your palms will love being taken outside for a while then !

I'm in Jakarta, Indonesia at the moment. There's huge palms everywhere here, because in Indonesia it doesn't really get cold at all, so they are really easy to grow. I see lots of Livistona, Pritchardia, Roystonea, Foxtails and Ptychosperma here.

Good luck adding to your collection !

All the best

Michael.

Good Start Jason, can you tell us the names of the last two. Also, since you are in such a cold zone, I would recomend that you collect species that do well inside such as Chamadoreas and Howeas etc.. Jungle Music website has alot of ideas on palms that do well indoors.

Welcome to our forum, Jason. I wish I had started when I was 11! You should grow Chamaedorea adscendens. It is a small, slow growing palm with tough, thick leaflets that are resistant to mites. It is very well suited for indoor conditions. Send me a PM with your address and I will mail you 2 plants; nearly 1 gallon size. :)

Thanks guys! I love being a palmophile. There is one person on here that I know who lives in Wisconsin, well not personally but he plants his palms in the ground!

Nice start Jason. You should take them out side about once a month and "spritz" them off to keep the bugs at bay. Misting the leaves would probably help too.

As for misting, I do that every day with a spray bottle. I am going to bring them outside, once all the snow is gone. Even on warm days here, there is still about a foot of snow on my deck!

I hope my mom lets you guys send some seeds to me. That would be great for my mini tropical indoor garden! I just ordered Washingtonia Filifera seeds last night. I'm going to plant them in those red SOLO cups. I can get you some pictures of the irrigation setup!

Again, thanks for all the support.

Oh, and do any of you have some musa basjoo's? I heard they are pretty hardy. I saw on Wiki that they have been known to survive in Wisconsin?

The names of the last two are chamaedora elegans. I got them for my 11th birthday... lol. The second and third picture are both of the same plant. The first on is Cycas Revoluta.

Jason,

Good to see you have alot of interest in palms and plants at an early age. I hope you stick with it. FYI, I have a very good (kid, lol!) friend that's 25 years old now and has grown up with his family living part time in the winter months in Key West and the summer months in Wisconsin. I met Andre when he was 9 years old and came to my first annual Key West palm Sale 16 years ago. He bought many palms that first sale and has come back every year since then. He has one of the finest and rarest collections of palms in Key West today.

Must be something in that Wisconsin water, Lol!

It's probably that people up north can't enjoy palm trees all the time. I have only seen palms grown outdoors... about twice in my whole life!

I went to Hawaii in 2008, and when we got back, that's about when I started growing fondness for my palms.

I went on a school trip to Virginia in May 2009, and we stayed at VA Beach. They had palms there, too.

I went to Florida (panhandle) in July 2009, my grandma took us down there from Enterprise, Alabama.

So I guess that's three times.
